Essential parts of the vibrant mix are the incense-wreathed, colourfully adorned mosques and temples of the country’s Malay, Chinese and Indian communities. A reverence for these ancient cultures is balanced with a drive to be plugged into the contemporary world, a desire that's reflected in a creative contemporary art and design scene; an ambitious riverbank-regeneration project; and dynamic architecture: the new Exchange 106 tower is taller than the iconic Petronas Towers.

This morning depart Kuala Lumpur for the scenic Cameron Highlands region in the interior of Malaysia. After departing your hotel in Kuala Lumpur, head to the Batu Caves on the outskirts of the city. This expansive Hindu site became more famous after the installation of a golden statue of Lord Murugan and the Malaysian Tamilians.

Emerald tea plantations unfurl across Malaysia's largest hill-station area. Temperatures in these 1300m to 1829m heights rarely top 30°C, inspiring convoys of weekenders to enjoy tea and strawberries in the restorative climate. The Cameron Highlands encompass a string of townships, including (north to south) Kampung Raja, Tringkap, Brinchang, Tanah Rata and Ringlet. Named after explorer Sir William Cameron, who mapped the area in 1885, the highlands were developed during the British colonial period. Gardens, bungalows and a golf course sprang up during the 1930s, cementing the highlands' reputation as a refuge for heat-addled Brits to mop their brows.

Today will be a long day, but full of amazing sights! Depart Cameron Highlands for the city of Ipoh. On arrival enjoy a tour of the city and its surroundings such as Ipoh’s Old Town area, Ipoh Railway Station, Little India, a local Pomelo farm and Kellie’s Castle with a local lunch included along the way.

Afterwards continue onwards to Penang Botanical Gardens, also known as the Waterfall Gardens due to the beautiful cascading waterfall nearby. Many visitors and locals visit the garden to escape the heat of the busy city and enjoy walks or relax in the tranquil gardens. Afterwards enjoy a delicious meal at the local hawker centre. After lunch, continue your day tour to Penang Hill. Upon arrival, you will take a funicular train up to the hilltop where you will have an amazing birds eye view of Penang Island and the surroundings.
Next, head to Ayer Itam Market to experience the local lifestyle and buy some souvenirs. If time permits, stop at another hawker stall to try Penang’s famous Assam Laksa (at your own expense).

Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction in which he or she is guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves the group at the end of the tour, they do not travel with the group.

Tour Leader:
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides in each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village, and offer information on the place visited on the bus, however they are not required to have specific knowledge on art, architecture, or history. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and if caught doing so, can be fined.
